Who are the women working in and around planning who are having an impact - both on individual planners, teams and organisations; and on planning policy and practice? The Planner has listed its Women of Influence for 2020. Every year for International Women's Day, the Planner publishes a list of planning's Women of Influence, as nominated by the readers of The Planner and assessed by a panel of judges that includes distinguished planners from across the UK. Martha has been nominated this year.

Citation: "In the last two years, Martha has been an inspiration by being a young professional who has actively engaged in participation in the planning and built environment, as well as successfully leading high profile and complex projects during uncertain and volatile times in the planning and development industry."

Citation: "Martha is a champion for determination and willpower. She relishes complex projects where she can make a real difference, which really sets herself out from her peers. She sees solutions where others see problems but crucially she fosters a real spirit of collaboration throughout the team which allows people to mobilise around her towards a common goal."

Citation: "[Martha] empowers other females to advance in their careers as well as contribute to charities. She set up her own all female planning team before setting up her own company. She is a volunteer at Advocate - which gives pro bono legal advice and supports apprenticeships into architecture and law. She is also a mentor for the organisations Women in Property and Newnham Associates."
